After crunching its November Internet service provider data, Netflix determined that the European country really does have the fastest broadband. A faster connection means better picture quality and less interruptions. The company made the declaration when it launched the service in the Netherlands in September, and it says it now has the data to prove it.

It looks at 17 Internet service providers, including Google Fiber, SuddenLink, Verizon, AT&T, and Clearwire. In the US, which had an overall average of 1.9Mbps, Google Fiber remains No. 1, with an average speed of 3.59Mbps, while Clearwire comes in last with 0.96Mbps.
